Okay, here it is.
Last time, I let people just email me whatever. I thought I could keep track of everyone’s photo, and name, and sport, and all… And I couldn’t. It got weird.
This time, I will make a file full of forms. The form above, in fact. Heck, I might print ’em out and keep them on my drawing table for quick reference.
It’s up to you to figure out how to download the image, or screenshot it, or whatever you want to do- size it up to 200 dpi or so, then fill it out legibly, and add a GOOD photo to it, and flatten that sucker. All one single file. Just a simple JPG with decent resolution, but you gotta put it all in one place for me, and then you gotta send it to me. In return for this (probably) tricky delving into the harsh intricacies of photo-manipulation, I will add you into the Second Great Stanky Creek Outdoorfest.
There you go. Challenge laid down.
P.S. an example of a bad photo is any photo that has you and another person in it. To fit in more than one person, the photographer is too far away to get a clear shot of your mug. Anyhow, it’s the Age Of Selfies. I should no longer have to try to do caricatures based on photos where there’s a sticky note that reads “He’s the third one from the left and his hair doesn’t really look like that. Plus I think this picture was taken in 1989.”
I can draw. You’ve been warned. Sometimes the muse bites hard and sometimes I duct tape her to the chair. Oh yes, lovely. I will get on it.
LOL
When you duct tape her to the chair, does she get to eat at least? LOL
do we have to pay something?
There’s not a lot of overhead involved in doodling a caricature of you in a blindfolded pogo sticking competition, so… there’s no fee.
This is great! What are the options for team and event? can we make that up?
I think you should. I hope that sounds as fun to you as it does to me.
Yes it does!
Application sent.
Team S_ _ _ f _ _ _ t is about to happen!
LOL

Test 2
Oi, Admiral, you feelin’ a bit testy today?
My wife is wondering why I suddenly started laughing so hard.
Can I check that I used to be good and that I may sustain an injury? I’m 62 and out of shape now, so I fit both.
I will be interpreting all information given in the most subtle and elegant ways when writing and drawing the comic strip. Check all the boxes you like.
I got my application sent in.
I have looked through all the photos I have of myself. I don’t like them. I will submit a photo of Dan Piraro and write my name all over the photoshopped image of my t-shirt to prove it is me. And no one can prove that it isn’t.
“Look up succinct” made my morning! Best of luck with that…
Annnnnd sent!
Can we make up an event? Like downhill grass skiing? Or full contact shuffleboard?
Oh my, Yes.
Well, let’s see…
Full contact shuffleboard (warm weather curling with extra padding and tackles?)
Downhill grass skiing (would you put wheels on skills or treads on roller blades?)
Hackeysack badminton
Four-legged race – three people per team, pair legs in sacks. |-||-||-|
Pogo-stick races – extra points for height
Synchronized bike stunts.
Don’t know what to call it, but wrapping someone in inflatable pool toys/rings and rolling them down a hill.
That last one is called ‘cheese rolling’.
Rubber-chicken Relay Race
Lawn Gnome Tossing(stone)
Unicycle Parkour
Troll Baiting (more of an indoor sport)
Blindfolded Watermelon Bashing
Hamsterball Race
Waterballoon Lacrosse
Sumo suit tackle football
Frisbee golf (thing) in a slingshot bungee harness

Why would you need to do anything to the skis for downhill grass skiing? Just take a pair of your most beat up skis, grease the bottoms with bacon fat and awaaay you gooo.
-Mailman Run- Uniform is that of a mailman and you have to outrun dogs that hate mail carriers. Deduct points for every piece of the uniform the dogs take off you. Bonus points if you manage not to drop any of the mail from the mail bag as you’re running.
-Rotten Tomato Tag- players chuck rotten tomatoes at each other. The team with the fewest hits and least amount of stink wins. Similar to paint ball, only worse.
-Rotten Potato Bob- Similar to bobbing for apples, except it’s for rotten potatoes which tend to sink. Snorkels not allowed.
-Chainsaw Juggling- Self explanatory.
-Chainsaw Relay- the team still with all their limbs and digits wins. Half points deducted for partially severed bits.
-Unicycle Mountain Climbing- Try to climb up a mountain just bouncing your unicycle up it.
I would suggest wearing a dancers bet for that last one…
Blindfolded paintball tag
Chainsaw juggling
Exploding hackey sack elimination
Trebuchet watermelon relay
Trampoline BMX downhill
Logrolling relay race
Lumberjack triathlon (Cut down a tree, push it down the river, drag it to the mill)
